so many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies. and refugees (难民) exist, too. a war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger. adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace. but can you really “make peace” by killing so many people? i dont think bombs can reach peoples hearts and change them. bombs cant create love and caring, and thats what we need in the world. why do adults use violence so quickly? why cant they use their wisdom and talk it over?adults might say that things are not that easy. but they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill. why dont they act as what they say?-a page from a 12-year-old boy, joshuas diary.61. at the beach, joshua _. a. hit his friend b. won a beautiful shell c. played with a beautiful shell d. came to an agreement with his friend62. joshua hates wars between countries because _. a. he is afraid of wars b. he doesnt understand adults c. wars cause death and refugees d. wars are not the only way to make peace63. whats the key to peace in joshuas opinion?
